The security moved the puppet people
around the stage
the truth was lies
the laughter was sad
and the pre-acted motion
turned into bad lines
to be drawn
into the pit of lions
teeth in the airwaves
the security moved the puppet people around
in violation accompanied by many brand names
Praise Pregnant With Compromise
Two on a power trip inside one mind
alias after alias intertwined among dictatorship
praying to credit claimed
receiving awards dressed like Jesus Christ
under a veil of smiles
irrelevant only because you don't get it
phases flowered
like another revelation of anger inspired
destructive dance with a verse of bullets in your head
PhD in critique
from the school of ignorance
to me the definition of scroll
interprets
being flogged at the shanty farm book sale
with I can't write
so it's all right
that I can not spell a complete sentence correctly
The classical chemistry of the twisted
militant edition of genius
her dedication to the bard of her choice
unearths hidden pedestals
aborting obscure alterations
and germinate only to edit popularity
receiving reversed passion like
a nuclear fallout of infectious criticism
bleeding out adjectives of hate
in exchange for psychology
failing Literary Spirilla Bacteria 101
monitoring the self induced non-poetic
media's of paint by numbers archives
responding like a collector of prisoner semen
clearly a hero of opinionated
pigments of hate energy
random words reproduced in a binary fusion
under microscopic examination
squeezing maggots out of the skins
of half sentences emptying malignant wounded
paragraphs onto projected vomit washed sand stone
recycling misspelled fungi floating
on the surface of every attempt at art
pissing a fresh coat
of a full color spectrum of blind anger
onto a lovely corpse in the attention river pronounced "Java Flush"
washed down with an overdose of lies, like big tobacco
admiring the name-dropping hearsay
Winston Churchill was bipolar too.
